I have a printer/fax/scanner and I have no idea how to scan bits of paper and save it on my computer. Can anyone help?

There should be a program disk that you have to install with along with the scanner/printer/fax. After you install it, go to the start menu, and open up the scanning program. From there, put the paper you want scanned into the scanner part and then scan it using the program. After that, it will most likely show you an image of what you scanned, and you will have the option of saving it.

Or: You put the piece of paper on top of the screen (scanner, duh.) and press a button on top of it. (Sorry if this is insulting to you're intelligence)

Yeah. There should be a scan button.

I tried the button before I asked, and I thought that would do it.
now I have to find the CD with the program on it... is there anywhere I can download something like that?

edit: found the program hidden somewhere on my computer. Thanks

You get everything worked out?

I thought I'd add that my scanner gives me a choice of where to store my scanned stuff .... it has a dropdown browser menu where I can click to open the folder I want to store them in or have an option to make a new folder.
